She is being cagey because she is a liar.
I spent time in France. What part? Normandy or Paris or Provence. It's a conversation not an insult unless you are embarrassed about where you are from or where you aren't actually from.
I’m generally not sympathetic to the “victims”, but I think Hussey was pretty pushy. The woman was answering the questions. From her perspective, she was being forthright. From Hussey’s perspective, the woman was “dodging”. But if you are questioning someone and you think that they are “dodging” repeatedly, perhaps it’s best to just drop it. But Hussey charged in again and again. This was an unforced error and she was rude.
